The Coffee House

[smoke665]

As a young teen growing up in Kentucky, I remember doing a job for one of the local farmers with my cousin in a tobacco field away from the farmhouse and on an isolated part of the property. Before he left, the old farmer warned us to keep an eye out for wild hogs that liked rooting up his fields.

As a kid growing up on a farm, feeding time was always a challenge. In a normal year, Dad would feed out around 200 head of cattle, and 1500 to 2000 hogs. He had this thing about buying gilts from farms in the mountains of northern Arkansas. Claimed they were better mothers and raised heartier pigs. Granted they did that, but they were the meanest critters you'd ever meet. They had tusks that would rip your leg open in the blink of an eye.

We've had many inches too much here. Would send some to you and western US if I could.

ooouuuuuu ... Gary and all the fires out here would love some rain. Just hot and dry out here.

I think all the gardens could do with a whole day of rain, as it is hard to find any green grass here as it is all scorched brown.

Welcome to California and Gary's vegetable garden.

Slow day in the south, in the headlines here. Hogs running wild in Lipscomb, AL Myself I don't really see the problem, I see meat in the freezer, and BBQ in the future, problem solved.

Yep. Haven't seen any hogs officer. Care for some ribs?

LOL ... What hog ...?

I think Elan Musk should design a feasible system to keep our snow from winter removal and send to you the following summer.

Afternoon y'all. Mary Lou and Gary are back from watching a movie On warmer/hot days we like catching movies along the beach. Today was Heart's Beat Loud. A totally lovely and entertaining cinematic experience. A 5 Star from both Mary Lou and Gary. Ted Danson was in the movie, as a supporting actor, and the best part was he was tending a bar.

Good idea ... Elon would vacuum tube the snow to his house in Los Angeles.

Scooby doo’s woes continue. Found a tick on his shoulder and could not get it to come off. Took him to the vet and it was a skin tag!

Feeling like a very failed fur baby mama this week. Poor guy has a crazy lady trying to pull his skin off! Fortunately we used the plastic tick tweezers so no major damage done...still, he’s pissed.

Now, that's funny! I can just picture you, telling him to hold still and it will be over in a minute....meanwhile....

Yup. Poor guy. Good news is that when I got back from dinner tonight he was his old self - running around, wiggling in happiness at my return, running to the fridge to get his carrot treat. The antibiotics must have started to win the battle with the Lyme disease symptoms.

@SquarePeg I think I saw you say you needed new glasses? Poor fur baby might agree with you

I was wearing the new glasses lol. It was hard to see the head of the “tick” with our dogs thick long fur. It’s only the 2nd one we thought we found on him and the first was on his head so that was easy to see. Not sure how that skin tag got that big without me ever noticing it...

Gary has a Tri-Tip in the Sous Vide, cooking away for tomorrow’s dinner. The nested is seasoned and herbed up swimming in a bath of Gary’s Famous BBQ Sauce. Gary tossed the Sous Vide outside to keep any generated heat out of the kitchen.

Morning all, just back from a walk with Susie and we got wet from the rain OH YES. It is quite breezy at the moment now and the rain has blown over, but it is lovely and cool at long last.

 

[Fujidave]

Well as it is not red hot, Susie and I had another good walk in the park but it is quite windy out now but lovely and cool.

Buenos Dias Coffee Hosers. It is 8:45 a.m., 76F and were are about to start our walk. Wonderful red moon last night. Miss Maggie is getting antsy pants in anticipation of running through the park and sliding into the creek and mud. The park is in a narrow arroyo. Upon arrival Maggie always goes to the rim and peers out looking for friends and playmates. About halfway down to the floor Maggie takes off like a rocket and plunges into the creek. We're off.

 

[Fujidave]

Well I am off to take Susie out for her last walk before bed.
